Definitely not the case. I took responsibility, but my co-worker misinformed me of what to do. My *** is covered now I recovered all documents, and reported the CMI.

That Senior and Commander should back their **** up. My section chief just game them hell because no one in my profession should ever get ripped on for what I did since it's their responsibility to do.

I'm good now, and if anyone needs to recover any lost documents, I highly suggest using Panda Recover

OMFG, medical billing is such a racket. I'm still getting bills for my 9/14 event.

My insurance paid in full, now the hospital sends me a bill for an additional $350. When does this end?

lol, okay.

First it was $14,000, then it was $11,000, then it was $1200, now it's $1500 and they expect me to pay the difference. I don't understand how this is legal.

shuiends is right.

as long as you have for profit companies responsible for covering your doctor bills, they are going to first attempt to make that profit and THEN they will think about how sad and pathetic you are. and then reject your claim automatically and wait for you to appeal.

Why won't competition work the same way it works in everything else?

Never. Mine never does anyway. Insurance when I go to the ER and surgery, yet I'm still stuck with a $200 copay, plus another $2800 worth of bills. I've been ignoring them for over a year now. Not reported on my credit yet, and they don't call me anymore... win for now. YET, the first time I went to the ER about 3 years ago, I had no insurance and it only cost me about $800. So they work with the people without insurance, but the people WITH insurance, they **** over the insurance company and charge retarded amounts of money, then they have to collect from you. Seems like my 5 year total with United Healthcare is over $250,000 for a few ER visits, and a surgery. That's ******* ridiculous.

It works just as well as it does for gas prices.

Plus hospitals do cost a lot to operate n ****. And doctors wana be rich yo. My young doctor friends pretty much sacrificed their entire 20s to books and have no personality or lives.

Wrong. Give me a break. There's no thinking about your emotions. Collection and billing practices are dictated by metrics and algorithms.

That said, the last time I got HIV/STD tested, I went to a free clinic, Whitman Walker because there was no appointment/referral/doctor inquisition required. All of the staff there was absolutely awesome. Gave em $350.

And yes, Whitman Walker clinic's target patientbase is urban gay males. I'm sure the implied meaning pleases some of you.

Does anybody besides me find themselves really struggling with the Chinese Room paradox, and the implications that it possesses for the concept of intelligence and cognition as a whole?

I'm only indoors maybe one day or two a week. Most of the other times I'm working out with the STS guys in their building or I'm off doing "mini-JCU" exercises with the other SOF branches.

Gonna try to get on a full blown JCU team within the next two years before I get out, might be a really awesome experience.



On a side note.... I just started taking double full time classes at my school. I have zero free time, hence my lack of posting here.

Are there good and bad wire-strip tools? I'm about to go to Fry's and get a pair.
